Support apparatus for battery pack and electric truck

Abstract

A support apparatus for a battery pack being mounted under side rails constituting a ladder frame of a vehicle and including a pair of side faces, the side faces facing outward in a vehicle width direction. The support apparatus has a battery-side bracket that includes an opposing face facing the side face and accommodates the battery pack and a frame-side bracket coupling the battery-side bracket to the side rail. The battery-side bracket has a device mounting unit for mounting an on-board device at an outer face opposite to the opposing face.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A support apparatus for a battery pack being mounted under side rails constituting a ladder frame of a vehicle and including a pair of side faces, the side faces facing outward in a vehicle width direction, the support apparatus comprising:
 a battery-side bracket that includes an opposing face facing the side face and accommodates the battery pack; and 
 a frame-side bracket coupling the battery-side bracket to the side rail; 
 wherein the battery-side bracket comprises a device mounting unit for mounting an on-board device at an outer face opposite to the opposing face. 
 
     
     
       2. The support apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the device mounting unit comprises a weld bolt having a head portion being welded to the opposing face and a screw portion protruding from the head portion outward in the vehicle width direction further than the outer face. 
     
     
       3. The support apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the device mounting unit comprises a weld nut welded to the opposing face. 
     
     
       4. The support apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the battery-side bracket comprises a successive face being provided successively to the outer face and forming a corner portion in conjunction with the outer face; and 
 the device mounting unit is formed on the corner portion provided from the outer face to the successive face. 
 
     
     
       5. The support apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the side faces are positioned on outsides in the vehicle width direction with respect to the side rails. 
 
     
     
       6. An electric truck, comprising:
 the support apparatus according to  claim 1 . 
 
     
     
       7. The electric truck according to  claim 6 , wherein the on-board device comprises a casing provided with a charging opening for charging the battery pack from outside. 
     
     
       8. The electric truck according to  claim 6 , wherein the on-board device comprises a sensor that detects an object being outside in the vehicle width direction.
